What are Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)?

SDOH are the everyday conditions—like where people live, work, learn, and play—that shape health outcomes and quality of life.

Access to safe housing, education, nutritious food, and reliable healthcare services can significantly influence a person’s well-being.

By addressing these factors, communities and care systems can work together to improve health equity and outcomes—leading to more coordinated care, reduced disparities, and better quality of life for individuals and families.

Contexture’s SDOH Programs

CommunityCares is Arizona’s SDOH referral platform that streamlines access to vital services through a closed-loop referral process, providing confirmation when social services are delivered.

CRN

Community Resource Network (CRN) is Colorado’s award-winning, team-based service coordination platform that integrates with our Health Information Exchange to boost community-wide health.

Our convening service, CollaboRise, is a strategic initiative to convene stakeholders and build sustainable SDOH networks to provoke positive change in our communities.

Why SDOH Data Matters in Health Information Exchange

As a health information exchange (HIE), Contexture plays a critical role in connecting care across communities. Integrating SDOH data into our network empowers providers, care teams, and community organizations with a more complete picture of a patient’s health.

Factors like housing stability, food access, transportation, and social support can significantly impact health outcomes—but they often exist outside traditional clinical records. By enabling secure, standardized sharing of SDOH data, we help bridge the gap between healthcare and social care, support more equitable care delivery, and drive better outcomes for the individuals and communities we serve.

Did You Know? Up to 80% of health outcomes are influenced by social and environmental factors—not just clinical care.

SDOH data helps providers and community organizations deliver more informed, equitable, and effective care.

Addressing social drivers of health is paramount to improving the long-term health outcomes of our members. The CommunityCares program has been instrumental in connecting our most vulnerable populations to the non-medical support they need—from housing to nutrition—to not just get by, but to truly thrive.

Literally DAYS are saved, [from the perspective of a CRN participant regarding Data/Reporting]. Something that would take me 24 work hours, three workdays, now can take as little as 1 hour to put together.

CommunityCares helps us connect our patients with resources post-discharge. Some of the reasons our patients end up in our care are due to lack of resources such as food, housing and support services.

Prior to using the CommunityCares platform our staff had to do a lot of the groundwork themselves. They spent time and effort making outbound calls, building resource guides and binders just to identify what services were available in the community.

I’ve been so pleased with Community Resource Network. It helps our team manage cases, send messages and send and track instant referrals all in one place. It’s a step in the right direction to start streamlining an otherwise arduous process
